I'll even qualify my hateÔäó a little... and these are just ebay store prices... can likely do better on an R6 forum
$100 (stock rearsets)
$100 (fairing stay)
$30 (stock windscreen)
$15 (clip on t00b)
$130 (upper fairing)
$140 (right lower fairing)
Wash it up, and thats about all she'll need.

What led you to that conclusion, sherlock?
500R fairings. Hopper decals are expensive.

I think maybe he bent his left handed smoke shifter too

damn Matt, glad you're ok man. just one more reminder the activities we all love can be extremely dangerous. don't skimp on safety gear!
- SameeRR - 01-13-2007
Damn Matt. I felt like throwing up in my mouth when I heard you wrecked.
I dont care what Feersty and RJ are arguing about when it comes to pricing the damage. But as a Category Crash rider myself, I can tell you that fixing the bike will run you a fair bit OVER 1000 bucks.
Ron Ayres is the place to go.
I won't say "Glad you're OK." But I will say Glad its not worse.
Take care man.

Glad you're ok dude!
For what it's worth, it doesn't take much at all to break your collar bone... I think it's a very marginal amount of pressure to do it. Sounds like you took a brutal head hit though, thank God for your helmet!
Ride safe guys...
- .paul - 01-13-2007
damn I had no idea - matt i am glad you are okay - speedy recovery. you can use this story to your advantage to pick up chicks
lemme know if you want to use a garage to work on the bike
- ScottyB - 01-13-2007
glad you're ok! your gear took some serious punishment...its a good thing you had it on.

If you are buying new OEM fairings, then for shizzle. But who does that

i'd be out ~$3k if i were buying new... seriously, does anyone do that?
- Chris - 01-14-2007
I think you'd have to buy new if you had a unique paint color like Sameer's orange RR.

or John Hopkins Jr. graphics.
- SameeRR - 01-14-2007
Thank you Feersty and Boobies.
But anyway, for those of you who I saw today at the show in DC, t'was good seeing you.

1) Graphics are nothing more than stickers, therefore even if I chose to replace them it wouldn't be that expensive.
2) Because my bike isn't that rare, spare used plastics are in abundance.
3) I have a full set of stock plastics for the bike (painted cheetah race body work was on it).
Therefore the bike can be put back on the road for the cost of a fairing stay, wind screen, and right side rearset. Priced it up over the weekend, the bike will be back street worthy for under $200.

Well glad to hear that you did it cheaply! How is the recovery going?
